FAQ: What is the difference between Neutral Regulator, Discus Buffer, Alkaline Buffer, and Acid Buffer?

Neutral Regulator and Discus Buffer are phosphate based buffers providing a very strong and stable buffering system. Alkaline Buffer and Acid Buffer are non-phosphate buffers, which although less stable than a phosphate buffer, are ideal for the planted aquarium where high phosphate levels would lead to an algae problem.
